Nonlinear adaptive flight control using neural networks

Abstract
Feedback linearization and adaptive neural networks provide a powerful controller architecture. This paper surveys the status of nonlinear, and adaptive flight control, and summarizes the research being conducted in this area in the School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Tech. A description of the controller architecture and associated stability analysis is given, followed by a more in-depth look at its application to a tiltrotor aircraft. This is followed by a summary of future research directions, and possibilities for technology transition that are currently underway.
